Sucks that Bregman finally got to play, goes 2-for-3 with a walk, and is back on the bench tonight.
Cautiously excited (if that's a thing). Morton has said he's even worried his velocity will be down later in the season. I'll be happy if he helps us get out of the gate better than last year.astros4545 said:
How excited are we allowed to get about Charlie Morton?
4 innings, 3 hits, 7 Ks, 1 BB
I saw his spring training start on ROOT last weekNuke LaLoosh said:
How has keuchels velocity looked so far? Last year at this point we were worried that it was down a couple mph from his current young season...
Was that his Sinker? IIRC, that only hit about 89-90 at the mostastros4545 said:I saw his spring training start on ROOT last weekNuke LaLoosh said:

I would be shocked if he threw a pitch at 90 mph in that start
Absolutely.iBrad said:
I'm not sure how you can defend a guy that bat flipped an almost HR and nearly cost his team a win, especially given that he's the guy who punched Batista in the face because of a bat flip. I think it's merely a case of blind loyalty to whomever wears the Rangers uniform.

To be fair...we had the likes of Carlos Gomez on our roster. Though Id hope nobody tried defending him....irish pete ag06 said:Absolutely.iBrad said:

Just like all the Rangers fans that now realize that Ian Kinsler was a ******r.
I wish I could put money on who finishes their career with more WAR barring injury. Bregman may double up Odor on that stat.

It was stupid. S*** happens. And you're right, he punched Bautista about a bat flip. It had nothing to do with the retaliation take out slide.
What is the issue with Bregman at 3rd and Correa at SS?txag614 said:
Another great play by Correa at 3B. Still think the Astros would be a better team with Bregman at short, and Correa 3rd. Correa would never agree to it though.

Like I've said in this thread before... Hinch loves the analytics and playing shifts. I'd have them switch between the two depending on what shift we are doing and where they would be better served. Correa's length vs Bregman's speed.txag614 said:

Not only no, but hell no. I think Correa makes for a better 3B with Bergman at SS.... but just no on switching back and forth. That's just flat ignoring the human element of the game and muscle memory theory. You have to balance both sides to be successful.shano0603 said:Like I've said in this thread before...
